Re: SLES9 scsi multipath initrd-linuxrc question

; no. The multipath= parameter is for switching off multipathing in the initrd, ie for the root fs. And as you already pointed out it's platform agnostic. Why did you think it's somewhat platform dependent? Cheers, Hannes -- Dr. Hannes Reinecke [EMAIL PROTECTED] SuSE Linux

Re: FBA device driver

step. So if modprobe should be invoked this indicates that the module has not been loaded, which in turn means the modules is not copied into the initrd. So recreating the initrd with 'mkinitrd; zipl' should fix it. Cheers, Hannes -- Dr. Hannes Reinecke [EMAIL PROTECTED] SuSE

LVM first, and next define raw devices? Please teach me. Do not, repeat _not_, use raw devices for that. Raw devices will overwrite the DASD disklabel if you are not careful, rendering the device unuseable at the next ipl. What are you trying to achieve anyway? Cheers, Hannes -- Dr. Hannes

Re: 31-bit SuSE SLES8 install

as how to get a 31-bit install accomplished at this time. Hmm. From what I've been told you just need to ipl 'sles8' instead of 'sles8x' to install a 31-bit system. No other changes needed. And yes, you do need a separate instance for it. Does that help ? Cheers, Hannes -- Dr. Hannes Reinecke
